Stephen Leacock 1925
"I never realized that there was history too, close at hand, beside my very own home. I did not realize that the old grave that stood among the brambles at the foot of our farm was history."
Most people know Stephen Leacock as a humorist. Some people know he
was also an economist. Few appreciate the fact that he was also a

Report of the Canadian Historical Association 1925 (1926).
